Thank You Friend
Dear Friend,
I want to say thank you. Not just any thank you, but thank you from a deep, vulnerable spot within. One year ago @love7rising landed in my heart. It was, by no means, a soft landing. It was quite turbulent actually… and well… I suppose that’s how things grow. There needs to be some sweat, some tears, some questions left unanswered, some push and pull… all of it.
To be honest, I had no True North except love. You’ve kindly been with me through my Word Swag phase (which I do love), my random quotes phase (I mean…. I do love a good quote), my nature phase (like I need to share this picture now) and my reading energy phase (which is still at the root of a lot of my ideas).
And then there was the dream phase. Oh… the dream phase. Thanks for sticking that one out too. As you know, I’ve always been a vivid dreamer. I receive messages from loved ones. At times, I communicate with people who have passed. I get ideas and yes, I travel to far off places. I mean, I painted for lord sakes! Didn’t see that one coming.
Next, IT happened. I remember the start of 2020 thinking to myself…. something is on the horizon. Never did I imagine it was going to be this grand and challenge us in ways we DIDN’T WANT TO BE CHALLENGED. And in between the deep breaths, the anger, the frustration, the longing and the missing there is something beautiful growing inside of you. Do you feel the shift?
I recently read a quote by Cleo Wade (yup… back in the quote phase) and it goes like this:
Fear worries “HOW will I get there?” Faith smiles knowingly, “we WILL get there.”
So, in the spirit of this quote, I have NO idea where THERE is….but my heart knows there is a there. I trust that. I’d like to end by sharing this~ Do you remember your senior year yearbook? We all had quotes and songs and prospects our friends chose to describe us? When it came to my song, my classmates picked Tom Petty’s “Into the Great Wide Open… a rebel without a clue.” I think about this (LOVINGLY) as I write…. it makes me smile and it pushes me to stay vulnerable.
Remember…
Be love (the nitty gritty kind… not the flowers and rainbows kind)
Be vulnerable
Trust your inner light
Onion layer #1~ That’s a wrap…oh, and I love you.
